FL - Somer Thompson, 7, Orange Park, 19 Oct 2009 #28

[Noway]

Cam, maybe the kids were mixed up? I imagine this was stressful for them, trying to remember details. And what they told Diena wasn't quite right?

I didn't know Somer had started walking with M. until I read the article with the uncle talking (CG are his initials). That I put into the Facts too.

List of FACTS in Somer's case: Version IX

Credit for compiling goes to many people including but not limited to SharetheLight, Cajun Girl, CCane, Dee10, Doggies, Isabella, MammaD.

I'm trying to remember to add names here as people give information. If you know that I've updated this because of something you've provided, let me know, and I'll add your name. I still don't have a good system for updating this, even after 8 versions.

GANO AVENUE HOUSE
· This house caught fire months ago and is being restored.
· Work crews have been at that house.
· VD&B is the contractor working on the house.
· Kyle, who works with the contractor, was there on October 19, and said that Somer came in the yard, told him that he/they were doing a good job on the house, and went back the way she came. (Thanks, MammaD!)
· ·Kyle is the last person known to see Somer alive.
· There are propane tanks surrounded by a fence about a block the house (toward school).
· J., a minor, was riding his bike home when he saw Somer running around near the tanks and that she he thought she was excited but had a frown on her face.
· OPAA is a park and sporting fields across the street from the house.
· LE searched the house extensively on Thursday and Friday.
· The Gano House was proclaimed a crime scene, as was the search area.

LAW ENFORCEMENT
· LE searched the Gano Avenue house extensively and the men's room at OPAA briefly and came out with a bag.
· An autopsy was performed, and LE knows the cause of death, but that have not released that information.
· Sheriff reports only one person cleared in the investigation into Somer’s death and that is him.
· Investigators made the request / recommendation that Somer's casket be closed.

OTHER PEOPLE
· AB drove Somer to school on October 19.
· AB appeared on TVwith Sheriff Beseler. Don't want video to appear in this post: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/33427923#33427923"]msnbc.com.

· A female neighbor who asked that her name not be reported, upon hearing of Somer’s disappearance, tells LE to check the vacant house on Gano Avenue and its dumpster. After Somer is found in the landfill, she said she wishes she would have checked it herself.

· A (different?) female neighbor, when questioned about the trash pick-up day, made a comment that the trash had already been collected that day so to take that however you want to. A WSer posted that it was the woman who drove Somer to school; that would have been AB. I wasn't sure which video it is at the link provided in the post.

· Houses in the vicinity of the Gano house were searched on Tuesday, October 20. The search literally hit home for schools Superintendent Ben Wortham, who lives about 100 yards from the Gano Drive spot where Somer was last seen. About 2 a.m. Tuesday, his house and many others in the vicinity were “searched from top to bottom,” Wortham said.

GARBAGE
· Bruce Owens, an officer suggests to the sheriff that all trash trucks should be followed and searched so they can isolate the trash coming out of this area, the trash trucks are then followed. (Later reported that Joe Jett gets credit for this.)
· Somer was found dead on October 21 in the Chesser Island Landfill in Fokston, Georgia.
· LE followed the trucks to the Chesser Island Landfill.
· There is at least one video of an interview with Diena that is blacked out-significant portion of interview is missing at the point where DT is recalling something from the day. (Could this just be because it was raw video and they edited out camera man movement?)

RSOs
· There are 161 RSOs that live within 5 miles of Somer’s home.
· CWG’s name and contact info appears on the initial police report (in error as a case of mistaken identity) detailing her disappearance, along with the names of family, neighbors, and others.
· The owner of VD&B has a brother who is an RSO. His name is GCV.
· Since Somer disappeared many RSO’s have been arrested for failing to update their addresses.

UNRELATED BUT YET, RELATED
· What was thought to be an attempted abduction 10 days before Somer's disappearance turned out not to be an attempted abduction and was not related to Somer's disappearance according to LE. Even after LE said there was no connection, reports on blue Nissans poured in to the CCSO.

· A police report in the Clay County Daily indicated that 4 burglary suspects were arrested at the Thompson home. LE later said that the address was in error and gave this explanation: An officer who was at the Thompson home was called to an unrelated burglary call and made the arrest of 4 individuals but when he filed his report, he forgot to change the address. If you check the Clay County Daily for 11/21, you will find the correct information now.

· CWG's name on the MPR was a result of mistaken identity according to LE.

Added video source to the entry about Somer catching up with siblings in 1100 block of Gano.

Will update my sig and then am heading out. Will be back tomorrow ... to confuse more of you!

 

[eyes4crime]

eyes, I'm just laughing at myself telling people they could not post links to social networking sites and them very nicely deleting them ... and it was all a hallucination.

We can post the links. We can't copy/paste the carp from them. Although we can give a summary of why we are posting the link in the first place.

Not just the Somer threads Noway - but so many others. When rumors were brought over from other sites, they eventually had to be deleted. Especially those from the Chimp site (remember the time-line I did for Lindsey that included mom K's statesments?). That's okay - I sent a messge to a mod and asked for some clarification on rumors without a credible link. I know Tricia dealt with sex offender rumors, but left rumors regarding the victim and family to a case by case review. Still not sure what that means. all my thoughts and opinions

 

[Noway]

For what it's worth, I have seen posts in various threads saying we cannot post to social networking sites.

I remain confused.

I really thought I was doing the right thing telling people they could not post MS FB and Twitter links. Tomorrow I can get to my links and hope I saved that one.

[camcneishg]

why are we taking it as fact what the uncle of M says in an article? LE got their info from the kids I am thinking.....Mom must have gotten her info from the kids also...I cannot find the link that I am looking for, but DT is in a purple shirt I think, with hair pulled up...the one where she is talking about the missing piece of broken glass...maybe I heard wrong...do you perhaps have that link handy?? I also read an article the other day that had soooo many things wrong in it...just sayin....

Top sail is a great school. i was thinking the same thing!! LOL

Way to go Chili!!!

 

[human]

Since he's a graphic artist, he can probably work from a computer anywhere. His comments etc seem very normal. He doesn't have a job where he would get injured. So maybe the scratches are from searching? Was he there then?

 

[sadnpod]

I was so disappointed over that! Did you see anything that says he is in fact a cousin? Last name? No reference to Somer seems weird to me after how much we saw him around.

DT's sister calls him cuz in a comment. His last name begins with G but that's all I know at this point. There's nothing to suggest he was in OP on the day Somer disappeared. And his scratch could very well be coincidental.

I found him by doing something I should have done a long time ago and saved myself a lot of searching. I just searched for DT's sister's myspace name and her first name on people's myspace pages.

 

[human]

so from DF you got the name? Wow! He has a FB. If you have a FB and put in that you are in his area or whatever it's called?network, maybe, then sometimes you can see the FB page. He has some other stuff on google.

Nothing that sticks out about him at all except the scratches. His FB picture does have Somer.

I don't want to change my FB network for a reason. I think yo can only change it once a month or something, I forget. So, if someone is willing to change their FB area, maybe there is something on there.

 

[camcneishg]

I found it....she is with her lawyer for this interview....says ST lagged behind talking to a friend....
